The Death star is way over done. Sun crusher is better.
The sheer mass of the Death Star makes it an engineering nightmare....
What they should have done is just build the weapons system with engines and a power core. Similar to the super laser but perhaps 1/3 the power,(Or even less) it would still wipe out all life on a world and crack it open but it would be much cheaper rather then building the entire station and miles of Dura-steel armor.
Lasers are so inefficient however. To vaporize the mass of a planet like Alderran which would have had a nickle/iron core and plenty of metal veins....it would take about 10^35 joules to destroy a planet? A friend of mine said that on another post.
